Since January 1999, the YSNP HQ has implemented a number control on daily visitors to the Park, and the accommodation lottery drawing. Based on the principle of justice, fairness and openness, the headquarters host the lottery drawing supervised by ethic officials daily at 3-4pm one month before the climb date. Visitors are much welcome to participate in the drawing procedure. Given the popularity of Yushan National Park in these years, it would be a slim chance to get the space at Paiyun Lodge on weekends so visitors might want to arrange the schedule on weekdays for better chance.

Once the drawing result comes out, the teams who get the space will receive the notification via email and text message. Teams who don’t get the space need to apply again for another date, or to apply for the same date to line up in case of any vacancies released.
